0 Hobart-Alfred seemed an easy winner at the start of the Hobart game. In the first five minutes, the Purple and Gold carried the ball forty yards for a touchdown. A fumble on Hobart's twenty yard line weakened the morale of the Alfred ranks, and from that point on the Orange team ran up a 27-6 victory. Throughout the whole period of play, the Alfred team was an ever dangerous foe, but lack of team work caused its downfall. Hobart's success- ful aerial attack was a great factor in the scoring. Lafayelle-The last game of the season was played at Easton where the onslaught of Lafayette overwhelmed the Alfred eleven to the tune of 47-0. Alfred was at only one time within striking distance of Lafayette's goal. The punting of Don Gardner combined with the lightning like runs of Binning were the only outstanding features of the Purple attack. Outweighed and outplayed, the light Alfred line, fighting with an undaunted spirit, held their heavier opponents many times for downs. ogfegtgmcmxxur e fl361

Sf. Bonaventure-The annual clash between St. Bonaventure and Alfred resulted again in a victory for the Brown and White by a 6-0 score. The largest crowd ever assembled on the local field witnessed one of the hardest fought games ever seen in Alfred. Both teams, during the entire period, played a very cautious game, each punting considerably. Gardner, punting for Alfred, had the edge on McAndrews of St. Bona. It was by blocking a place kick in the third quarter that Bona's men began their victorious march for a touchdown. Flynn broke up the kick and ran forty yards until the fleet footed Manzino brought him down. In the fourth quarter, after an exchange of punts, the St. Bonas worked the ball to the Purple and Gold twenty yard line, whence they steadily worked the ball to the goal and the only score of the day, despite the heroic fighting of the Alfred team and the noble cheering of the Alfred rooters. The whole Alfred team played an excellent game in spite of their disadvantage in lack of weight. The game was characterized by clean, hard playing and good generalship on both sides.

Tonawanda at Tonawanda Tonawanda Nov Sophomores Sophomores The freshman squad, under the coaching of Frank Goble, carried through a diflicult schedule with a fair percentage of victories. The three games played at home were excellent exhibitions of footballg particularly the annual Frosh-Soph game, in which the Freshmen completely outclassed the Sophomores. Costly fumbles and poor open field workgweakened the defense against Tonawanda, St. John's and Galeton. This is the first season that a regular freshman schedule has been worked out to any extent. The showing of several of the squad holds promise for the varsity next fall. +f2feEn1cmxxutB'.:-2530 I1371
